Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage is a focused medical treatment designed to address muscle tension and cervical contractures, conditions often caused by poor posture, repetitive movements, or injury. This hands-on therapy involves targeted medium-pressure techniques, kneading, and stretching to relieve tightness, improve circulation, and restore mobility. By focusing on the precise origin and insertion points of muscles, therapeutic massage reduces stiffness, enhances the range of motion, and alleviates discomfort associated with contractures.

Therapeutic massage is ideal for individuals experiencing chronic muscle tension, limited neck mobility, or discomfort due to muscle contractures. This is a medical massage that differs significantly from Swedish or relaxation-type massages. Our approach considers mobility restrictions and targets explicitly the cervical area and other affected regions. Many clients notice relief and improved mobility after the first session, with results lasting for several days or longer, depending on the severity of the issue and post-treatment care. For those with ongoing concerns, regular sessions can provide consistent benefits. To experience the relief and benefits of this therapy, book an appointment today at Equilibrium Lymphatic Therapy.

Treatment Areas for Therapeutic Massage

Neck and Shoulders

This treatment eases tension and stiffness in the cervical and shoulder muscles through specialized cervical stretching techniques, working from the muscle’s origin to its insertion point. This approach helps restore mobility in the neck and back while reducing discomfort caused by poor posture or repetitive strain.

Upper Back

Relieves tightness and improves blood flow in muscles that commonly experience tension due to stress or prolonged sitting by targeting precise muscle attachment points.

Lower Back

Targets discomfort caused by muscle strain or overuse, promoting relaxation and enhanced mobility through medium-pressure techniques.

Arms and Forearms

This treatment addresses muscle fatigue or tightness from repetitive tasks or physical activity, improving flexibility and reducing discomfort by focusing on specific muscle groups.

Hips, Quadriceps, and Hamstrings

This treatment addresses two crucial muscles in the hips—the psoas and piriformis—which play a key role in mobility. When these muscles are compromised, they can severely impact movement. An evaluation is performed to identify the specific muscles contributing to mobility loss, and targeted therapeutic support is provided to restore function and reduce tension from physical exertion.

Glutes

This treatment releases tightness in the gluteal muscles, which can contribute to lower back or hip discomfort. By working on specific attachment points, it improves posture and mobility.

Hands and Wrists

This treatment treats tension caused by repetitive motions or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, helping to relieve pain and improve range of motion.

Feet and Ankles

Alleviates tension and soreness from standing, walking, or high-impact activities, enhancing circulation and reducing swelling.

Chest and Pectoral Muscles

This treatment relaxes tight chest muscles that can cause shoulder or upper back tension, improving posture and breathing.

Abdomen

Uses gentle techniques to reduce tension and improve circulation in the abdominal muscles, supporting overall relaxation.

Common
Questions

What is therapeutic massage, and how does it help with muscle and cervical contractures?

Therapeutic massage is a medical hands-on treatment that relieves muscle tension and improves mobility in areas affected by contractures. Techniques using medium pressure target the origin and insertion points of muscles to help restore flexibility and reduce discomfort.

This treatment is ideal for individuals with chronic muscle tension, limited neck movement, or those recovering from injuries. It is also beneficial for anyone seeking relief from pain associated with cervical contractures.

The frequency depends on your specific needs and condition. Weekly or bi-weekly sessions are recommended for chronic issues, transitioning to monthly maintenance as symptoms improve.

Most clients experience relief and improved range of motion after the first session. Consistent treatments and proper aftercare achieve long-term benefits.

Our therapeutic massage is a medical approach that specifically targets muscles’ origin and insertion points using medium-pressure techniques. Unlike Swedish or deep-tissue massages, we focus on addressing mobility restrictions, particularly in the cervical area, with a clinical approach to relieving contractures and tension.

While therapeutic massage can significantly reduce discomfort and improve mobility, it may not fully reverse severe contractures. It is most effective when combined with other therapies, such as physical therapy.
